Will TSF require ear reconstruction?

[Backseat Driver]

https://plasticsurgerykey.com/ear-reconstruction-4/

The ear is a complex structure whose lateral surface provides minimal loose tissue for side-to-side or flap repair. The skin on this side is bound down to a convoluted cartilaginous structure with convex and concave surfaces. As such, repair on the lateral surface is usually limited to second intention healing, skin graft, or a flap from the medial pinna or other nearby cosmetic unit (i.e., preauricular cheek or postauricular scalp). The skin on the medial surface of the ear is a little looser and may provide adequate tissue for side-to-side or flap repair of small- to medium-sized defects, although flap repair frequently recruits tissue from the postauricular sulcus area. The helical rim provides the characteristic shape to the pinna, and reconstruction is most successful if the shape, size, and appearance of this contiguous structure is maintained. Fortunately, for many defects on the helical rim, the inferior helical rim and lobule provide an adequate reservoir of loose tissue from which to fashion a local flap repair.

1. If there was significant damage, TFG will freak out

because he hates any signs of injury on himself or others. He won't want to appear in public with a mangled ear; he also won't want to be seen with a bandage on it, since either thing is a sign of imperfection and damage. He will have to figure out a way to milk the injury for financial and political gain without letting the public actually see it, especially if it's all shredded and ugly.

4. He might wear a bandage if he thinks he can raise money and votes off of it.

It will be a tough for him, because he is so vain and self centered.
He hates any imperfection.

But raising money is what he lives for.
So he might wear a bandage for that.

8. If he can make money off it, he'll wrap himself up like the Mummy.

9. That's probably what he will do.

Wrap the entire top half of his body to show off his war wound.

11. I expect him to play it up for as long as he can. mr liberty suggested he'll wear a bandage with a flag on it

I expect a bandage of some kind,, it will be his "war wound, that he took for you!" (Barf emoji here) I can hear him now.. He is a grifter, and he'll milk this for all it's worth.

12. Then he can auction off his bandages, for a good price.

The man is shameless.

2. A good comb over will hide the top of the ear.

5. I'm not sure he has enough hair left for that to work.

3. Trump is very vain and will insist on plastic surgery?

He cannot stand any type of deformity.

6. In the meantime, though, he has to show up at the GOP convention

with his damaged and/or bandaged ear. Even though he can milk it for support and donations, he'll hate having to display that imperfection, proof he isn't Superman.

7. much like NK leader Kim requires his subjects...

to cut their hair like his…

we will all soon be required to notch our ear…much like a spayed feral cat.

10. Did we hear anything from the Dr. who treated him

at the ER? Or on the condition of the other victims?

13. He should put a ring in the bullet hole. I

hear it was really a piece of glass though.

14. Have Doctor

Ronnie Johnson work on him.

15. Sure. He'll get a FAKE EAR.

It will be a better ear than he had or that anybody has. It'll be the BEST EAR.

16. Is there enough scalp left for a patch job?

Asking for a deafish fiend.
